Determining evacuation capability with biomechanical data
Experimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed and implemented in a prototype movement model. The prototype model is developed to predict movement of persons based on a first principle approach using basic population data such as age, height, gender and response time to adapt the walking speed in a crowd. The experimental data provide the biomechanical information needed inExperimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed andimplemented in a prototype movement model.
